Default dash restoration

OK guys, since I received a load of help on the gauge restoration question , just wondering about my dash pad.

Has anyone ever used these guys http://www.dashboardrestorations.com/ or should I simply go with Just Dashes? The difference in price between the two places is considerable ($550 vs. $850), hence why I'm asking.

Or is there someplace else you might recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm not sure why I didn't. I'm asking about dash PAD restoration.

Henry did my housing, and did a terrific job....shared a few beers with him a couple of times.

I haven't seen him in years, but heard he was ill. Is he better and back to his old self? Certainly hope so.

Hey! King Lush! His name is Estheimer.
He did my dash carrier, and for as long as I've known him, he has always been a great guy. He also knows more about that piece of plastic than anybody alive, and based on the number of hours he puts in on each one he does, he should be charging a whole lot more.

For all my complete dashboard restorations, I use Just Dashes for the pads. Excellent work.

Tom,
Not sure what your project car is...but be advised that Just Dashes will not do a '69 Camaro dash pad.
